Abstract EN
Objective.
To compare baseline and 72-hour hormone levels in women with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and controls.
Setting.
Hospital emergency department.
Participants.
21 women ages 18-35 with TBI and 21 controls.
Design.
Repeated measures.
Main Measures.
Serum samples at baseline and 72 hours; immunoassays for estradiol (E2), progesterone (PRO), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and cortisol (CORT); and health history.
Results.
Women with TBI had lower E2 (p=0.042) and higher CORT (p=0.028) levels over time.
Lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GSC) and OCs were associated with lower FSH (GCS p=0.021; OCs p=0.016) and higher CORT (GCS p=0.001; OCs p=0.008).
Conclusion.
Acute TBI may suppress E2 and increase CORT in young women.
OCs appeared to independently affect CORT and FSH responses.
Future work is needed with a larger sample to characterize TBI effects on women’s endogenous hormone response to injury and OC use’s effects on post-TBI stress response and gonadal function, as well as secondary injury.
